Gravity Bone

[Wraitheist]

I didn't see a thread about this yet. A lot of people are raving about a short, free game called Gravity Bone (http://www.blendogames.com/). I played through it last night and it was ok for a user-created game, but I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.

The thing about Gravity Bone that's interesting is
the game sets an expectation and then completely flips it. It sets itself up like its going to be a full game. It's teaching you skills, you're getting items, and there's a weapon slot that gets skipped which means, to us gamers, more weapons/tools to come. However, before the game can take you further, you get gunned down, twice, see your life flash before your eyes, and die.

You go into it expecting a full game experience and end up with the 'game' part getting interrupted by unexpected death. I don't think it's anything supremely profound, but it is an interesting exercise in turning your gaming expectations on their head.

It also has a good style to it.

It seems like a further idea of the middle of Call of Duty 4.
